Otek Corporation has unveiled its new Loop or AC/DC Signal Powered Display (LPD Series) that uses minute amounts of energy in a current loop to brightly and consistently illuminate its 51 automatic tricolor (R/G/Y) bargraph and 4 digits. The LPD is 100% Ethernet, DCS, and SCADA compatible with its Serial I/O capabilities. In addition, the bargraph will tell the operator if and when the loop fails by flashing the display message "Loop Fail." It uses under 12 mW @ 4 mA (<60 mW @ 20 mA) to run its nanotechnology ASIC processor and highly-efficient bicolor display and isolated serial interface. The LPD requires only about 3V burden on the loop, compared to ~1V of the analog counterpart.
